Chapter 46 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Niamh did not understand why she felt so horrible when she saw Eloise’s piercing gaze.

“Mrs. Montgomery, why did you hit me?” Niamh tried to keep calm but her heart was beating fiercely.

“You still have the cheek to ask me why?” Eloise pointed at Niamh furiously. “You kidnapped my grandson with another person and you bullied my precious daughter, Nevaeh! Now, you’re even inciting another man to make him side with you. He sent Nevaeh a lawyer’s letter and said she deliberately assaulted someone with hot coffee!”

As she said that, she threw the letter angrily at Niamh’s face.

“Niamh, you’re such an evil woman! Thank god your parents died early, if not, they’d die from shame! If you’re my daughter, I would have kicked you out of the family!”

As Niamh heard Eloise yelling at her, each one of her words stabbed in her heart like shards of glass.

She understood now. Eloise came all the way here to vent for her precious daughter, Nevaeh.

Heh.

What a great mother. She did not know the truth nor what happened. However, mothers would always believe their children unconditionally, right?

Niamh felt tears sting the corners of her eyes. She felt as if her heart had been clenched by an invisible hand. She felt so horrible that it hurt when she breathed.

“Niamh, I’m warning you, don’t think you can go anything just because you have people backing you up! I’ll do double to you what you did to Nevaeh and my grandson!”

Eloise pointed at Niamh with her warning. Then, she turned around with a dark expression on her face.

“I thought they just have the same name, but I didn’t expect her to be that Niamh Delgado.”

“She’s the one who stole her boyfriend and caused her sister to miscarry.”

“Tch, are we going to work with someone like this from now on?”

Niamh could hear her colleagues gossiping about her. She stood at the door of the office. She felt so embarrassed she did not know where she should go.

Why was her life so difficult?

She was so tired.

She wanted to have parents as well so that she could lean on them when she was sad and vulnerable.

However, aside from her sickness and infamy, she had nothing.

Tears rolled down her cheeks quietly as she bent down to pick up the letter. She did not expect Felipe to really sue Nevaeh.

It was fine. She did assault them. Felipe did nothing wrong.

…

A good deed goes unnoticed, but a scandal spreads fast.

Niamh was like a joke during this entire afternoon. People from other departments kept dropping by to look at her. They wanted to see what a vile and plagiarizing twit-face looked like.

Niamh felt she would not have the chance to get involved with Elizabeth’s project since everyone refused to trust her. However, Elizabeth said righteously, “Everyone makes mistakes. It’s fine if you’re willing to change. This project is very important, so everyone has to work together.”

She purposely walked to Niamh’s side and encouraged her. “Niamh, do your best. Don’t disappoint me.”

Even though Niamh was curious about Elizabeth’s sudden change toward her, when it came to work, she would not dare to be negligent.

Her colleagues’ attitude toward her changed slightly as well. Niamh knew they were just doing this for the sake of Elizabeth. However, no matter what it was, life still goes on and she had to be serious about her work. Besides, Niamh was fond of this job.

It was time to get off work and her colleagues started packing to go home. Niamh took a sip of water and continued her work.

Elizabeth walked out of her office and saw Niamh still here. “You’re not going home?”

Niamh lifted her head. “I want to finish the draft for the bracelet.”

“You can finish it at home. It’s pointless to pretend to be hardworking here,” Elizabeth said coldly and rolled her eyes.

Niamh was wondering if Elizabeth had Multiple Personality Disorder. The way she treated her was so inconsistent.

At this moment, a tall and slender figure appeared at the door.

Elizabeth’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Waldburg, why are you here?”

Her attitude changed. She was now extremely gentle.

When the rest of the employees heard this, they placed down their bags and smiled respectfully at Felipe. “Mr. Waldburg.”

Niamh finally came back to her senses. However, everyone had already finished greeting him. It would be as if she was trying to stand out if she greeted him now. So, she only nodded and smiled at Felipe.

Felipe smiled at Niamh before walking in. He had an imposing manner to him. He was very handsome and elegant.

“Everyone, thank you for your hard work. Good luck on the new project,” he said with a gentle tone.

Elizabeth eyed her colleagues immediately and everyone understood what she meant immediately. “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Waldburg. We’ll do our best!”

“Okay.” Felipe nodded.

Elizabeth played with her long and curly hair. As she waited for Felipe to approach her expectantly, she saw him walking past her and headed directly to Niamh.

Elizabeth’s smile cracked. The other employees looked over in curiosity.

Niamh felt something was going on. It seemed that Niamh had feelings for Felipe. However, when her brain finally registered that, Felipe was already standing in front of her.

“Niamh.” He called out gently, “How are you holding up?”

Niamh stood up quickly. “Mr. Waldburg, I’m fine. Thank you for giving me such a great opportunity.”

“We’re family. You don’t have to be so courteous to me.” Felipe’s smile was gentle.

However, when everyone heard his response, the entire office exploded.

Everyone looked at Niamh in shock and puzzlement. They desperately wanted to know how Niamh was related to their boss.

“We’re having a family dinner tonight. I’m going home as well so I’ll take you along.”

Niamh hesitated and rejected the offer. “No need, I can go myself.”

“We’re going to the same place anyway. Why are you being so courteous?” Felipe asked with a smile. His tone was gentle.

Niamh did not know how to reject him anymore. She would look pretentious if she rejected him again.

However, if she did not, they would look too intimate.

When the atmosphere was getting awkward, Felipe opened his mouth.

“Even though Niamh and I have a special relationship, she got into our company with her own talents. Niamh is still new here, so I hope you’ll take good care of her.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Waldburg, I’ll take good care of Niamh!” Elizabeth ran over just in time. After that, she even patted Niamh’s shoulder intimately. “Niamh, just ask me if there’s anything you’re unsure of. Mr. Waldburg’s friend is my friend!”

Niamh looked at Elizabeth’s pretentious smile and felt extremely awkward.

Then, Niamh and Felipe left under everyone’s complicated gazes.

When the lift was on the first floor, Niamh’s phone rang. It was from Kendrick.

She looked at the caller ID. After a few seconds of hesitating, she hung up the phone.
